    Title: Annual Report on Households Assisted by the Low Income Home 
Energy Assistance (LIHEAP).
    OMB No. 0970-0060.
    Description: This report is an annual activity required by statute 
(42 U.S.C. 8629) and Federal regulations (45 CFR 96.92) for the Low 
Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Submission of the 
completed report is one requirement for LIHEAP grantees applying for 
Federal LIHEAP block grant funds.
    States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico are required to report statistics for the previous Federal fiscal 
year on:
     Assisted and applicant households, by type of LIHEAP 
assistance;
     Assisted and applicant households, by type of LIHEAP 
assistance and poverty level;
     Assisted households receiving only utility payment 
assistance;
     Assisted households, regardless of the type(s) of LIHEAAP 
assistance;
     Assisted households, by type of LIHEAP assistance, having 
at least one vulnerable member broken out; by a person at least 60 
years or younger, disabled person, or a child five years older of 
younger;
     Assisted households, by type of LIHEAP assistance, with 
least one member age 2 years or under;
     Assisted households, by type of LIHEAP assistance, with at 
least one member ages 3 years through 5 years; and
     Assisted households, regardless of the type(s) of LIHEAP 
assistance, having at least one member 60 years or older, disabled, or 
five years old or younger.
    Insular areas (other than the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) and 
Indian Tribal Grantees are required to submit data only on the number 
of households receiving heating, cooling, energy crisis, and/or

LIHEAP performance measures under the Government Performance and 
Results Act of 1993. The data elements will allow the accuracy of 
measuring LIHEAP targeting performance and LIHEAP cost efficiency.
    Respondents: State Governments, Tribal Governments, Insular Areas, 
the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
